Guess it's time to start my own build thread. After 21 weeks of waiting my 2018 136" HT PM finally arrived. Don't even have a name for it yet… not sure if I ever will. Maybe I'll call it John Doe. My wife calls it the cracker box so maybe that will be it.
Going to try and keep the build pretty simple and modular. I have the IKEA Skorva adjustable rails and brackets for the bed platform. Also have the upper and lower factory side panels so I'm doing Thinsulate behind those, a Van Rug, ARB frig, Camco 57331 Olympian Wave-3 Catalytic Heater, porta potty, galley with sink, single burner stove of some kind, TV/DVD, Maxxair fan, 200w solar, couple of AGM's for the house and a battery isolator (It's my daily driver at least for a while).
Not sure what I'm going to do for the celling yet or the final finish work. Once I get everything functional I may enlist the help of a finish carpenter to box everything in and make it look pretty with cabinets and drawers. Also toying with the idea of doing an 80/20 build instead of all wood to keep it more modular.
It will generally be a local weekend warrior so no hard core winter camping in Alaska or summers in Death Valley. My goal is simple, clean functional and removable.
Stay tuned.
